I'll stay where I am, killing as many Word Bearers on the ship with mind bullets as I can.

Trondheim, please remember that dishonor to your commander is dishonor to the Emperor!

Hey now, I am a Fenrisian, and well.... I used to dabble in the dark arts. Just saying

Well you missed the Brother-Sergeant at least, which may not have been for the best!

Trondheim wrote:Do we who miss a lot get new toys too? Like assisted aim?

Nope, the game has nothing of the sort. The Chapter deigns to provide you with liberal amounts of shame and embarrassment, however.

Huzzah! For the Emperor and such!

Do I get shiny new weapons to hack and cleave the foe?

I'd already given you the shiniest flamer I could find, and have promoted you to Veteran?

Sheesh, you give and you give...

You mistake my excitedness for ungratefulness.

Veteran eh? Hopefully this will get me one step closer to Terminator honours...

Well you did good, I hate to say it! But yeah, from this mission onwards, Terminator honours go to anyone that kills 5+ people in one mission AFAIK, so fingers crossed...

OK, thanks for letting me know. We'll ready the apothecarion.

Trondheim, please remember that dishonor to your commander is dishonor to the Emperor!

Yeah, what he said!

I'm afraid the only Devastator position open is for a standard Bolter - rather than heavy weapon - marine. But Devastator's will get picked just about every mission, if you still fancy it?

If the biggest gun I can get my hands on is a bolter, then a bolter it is. . .for now!

Good man! Welcome to the Chapter. Any particularly in-game name?

If the guys with the heavy weapons get promoted to termie (which is very probable), then you're next in-line!

kirsanth is fine, it is what I use in most games anyway.

Add Battle-Brother or somesuch, if you are so inclined, but otherwise rank is fine.

^^

Huzzah!

My God... Forgive me my Emperor! Great work Dave. I'll try to keep it together next time

@Dave Librarian is cool by me

Well I'll be a Fenrisian Wolf Whelp! Looks like Silver put us all to shame, including me! Must be all those bionic parts the Apothecary used to stitch him back together with...

Well I managed to crippled an accursed demonic creature before one of my battle brothers sent it reeling back into the warp, that's something at least.

Think its about time I trade in my Heavy Bolter for some real firepower, requisition me a Lascannon Captain, I'm going Daemon huntin' next mission!

My only question:

Why in the name of the Emperor couldn't Trondheim have been abducted instead of me?

Heh heh heh heh. Thats me and my pyromania....

So I only managed to kill one khorne berzerker that was hysterical and on fire?

Damn.

Great report Dave, that was fun reading Looks like a bit of a disaster!

My guy sucked so much.

I think I may need that plasma gun after all :(

"Meanwhile, brother Vortigern rested back at base, the screams of his battle brothers drowned out in his fervent imperial prayer" probably good I stayed back this mission....

Coward!

My squad was not called! Let no man say I have not paid due to the emperor...

I am veteran!

Techpriest will do. Can't wait to see how my guys performs now XD

Would you want the smell of wet dog on your Space Hulk?

Woo! Most improved and a promotion

At which stage, Rhodes opens fire again - and misses all his shots again

I have failed the emperor I wish to be sent on a suicide mission to repent for my sins.

Kirsanth's good with me: helps me remember that kirsanth is... kirsanth!

Hey, don't apologise too much: you were my highlight of the mission!

That said, your ability as a sergeant needs work! Securim has performed admirably and is looking like a fine sharpshooter, whilst noobimus made a good - if unspectacular - start, and Davimus is looking to be a particularly handsome sergeant. But being barely able to hit anything and leading to the deaths of two of your squadmates maybe wasn't the best thing you could've done... Read up on your Codex Astartes Brother-Sergeant.

The other highlight was that in the playthrough that i restarted, the enemy sorcerer set you on fire and you panicked then too!

KamikazeCanuck wrote:@Dave Librarian is cool by me

Cracking. What's your name, Codicier?

Just as a warning, you may want to look into health insurance. Our last librarian was... misplaced on his first mission.

Don't fret: you may not have killed anything, but your shooting was top-notch once more!

I'm afraid you "just" have a bolter, brother-sergeant: such is the price of leadership!

Skarwael wrote:So I only managed to kill one khorne berzerker that was hysterical and on fire?

Thanks! The mission was certainly... eventful! You did suffer from a relative shortage of targets FWIW.

Don't say that; you all sucked so much! Even the guy with the best kill rate (Silver) only had a 33% hit rate IIRC!

Your getting punked by the dude with the missile launcher was very funny (if painful) to watch though! You guys are awesome!

CthuluIsSpy wrote:I think I may need that plasma gun after all :(

Next time, brother. Any particular weapon preference, or whatever I need you to have at the time?

I have realised that, I think, you've been in more missions than anyone else, but you're still not a vet!

I'm sure if 2nd squad was there the mission would have been a cakewalk!

purplefood wrote:I am veteran!

You did good, Purps. You belong in squad II.

johnscott10 wrote:Techpriest will do. Can't wait to see how my guys performs now XD

There's a space in Tactical Squad III (2nd tac squad) if you'd prefer?

SilverMK2 wrote:Woo! Most improved and a promotion

It would've been hard for you to not get most improved to be fair! You content with a missile launcher?

As much as I like this idea - a lot - I don't think the chapter can afford further casualties like this!

No kills


Stupid Berzerker who can apparently nom bullets!

Oh, and another thing I forgot to mention in the report:

Silver fired a krak missile at the fortress gate, but missed (insert barn door comparison).

To be fair, I'm not sure he actually had the angle/could hit the gate, but still, his missing it seemed apt!

Missed a fortress gate...
Silver!

So once we die we're out for good?

I don't think so. Silver died in Mission 2, and he got to fight in Mission 3.

However, there is a finite number of marines. Every death hurts.

Ill quite happily be a Techpriest, if I can't snipe I want to chop things up XD

Had a look at Bandicam and it only records for 10mins at a time free, so I don't think it'll be worth it I'm afraid. Each game takes at least an hour - and even longer as I'll be taking notes at the same time - so I imagine many would prefer the notes anyway...

johnscott10 wrote:Ill quite happily be a Techpriest, if I can't snipe I want to chop things up XD

Not a problem: you're in.

Yup, this. If you die, I'll give you a new character (but in doing so you lose any experience/medals/improved skills), but as said, we have a limited pool of marines, so y'know, try to avoid dying! If people playing as HQ characters die, I can't guarantee a respawn I'm afraid though.

About to launch a new mission. It's a sub-mission on an arctic planet, where we're trying to recapture supplies from a once-Ultramarine-outpost. Brought along for the ride are:

Librarian II: KamikazeCanuck/ ?

Tactical Squad II:
1) Veteran Sergeant: Just Dave/ Justimus Davimus
2) Veteran Marine: Vortrey/ Vortigern
3) Veteran Marine: Rotgut/ Titan
4) Veteran Marine: Purplefood/ Purple the Magnificent V
5) Heavy/Special Weapons: CthuluIs Spy/ Otto Von Swanzstucker III

Tactical Squad III:
1) Sergeant: Position thenoobbomb/ Noobimus Maximus
2) Marine: Commissar Rhodes/ Leonardius Rhodes
3) Marine: Kirsanth/ Kirsanth
4) Marine: Trondheim/ Rasputin
5) Veteran Heavy/Special Weapons: Doctadeth/ Doctadeth

Assault Squad VII:
1) Sergeant: DA's Forever/ Maxima Trauma
2) Veteran Marine: Necroshea/ Isaac Hexen
3) Marine: Super Ready/ Maximus Porkpious
4) Marine: n0t_u/ Nu
5) Veteran Marine: Medium of Death/ Medius Ex Decimus

I won't finish the mission tonight however, as I've got things to do and a certain throne (it's Iron, not Golden or Porcelain) to attend to. I'll provide some teasers/highlights of what happened so far, though.
